"In line with our purpose to empower customers, we’re taking actions to do our part in supporting retail and wholesale banking customers to adapt to this new situation. That includes offering payment holidays in a number of countries, which allow our customers to postpone loan repayments. We’re also working with our corporate clients to deliver tailor - made solutions for their particular challenges. But it’s also about the basics of ensuring the availability of banking services through our mobile and digital channels. And this also involves things like making it easier to perform contactless payments by increasing limits and providing information and help for customers so they can learn how to do more of their banking through mobile and digital channels. "The health and safety of our employees is a top priority. We have smoothly transitioned to a situation where around 80 percent of staff are now working from home. We support them with tools to enable them to work from home and offer guidance to help them deal effectively with the challenges that this can bring. And we’ve limited the number of employees in branches by keeping fewer branches open at this time and by reducing hours, while maintaining access to this channel. "The Covid - 19 pandemic also requires us to take actions to responsibly manage our business so we can deal with its impact. ING's commercial performance in the first quarter was broadly in line with the year - earlier period, and we showed stable net interest income and strong improvement in fee income. Our operational performance demonstrated the strength of our business model. However, we also saw substantially increased loan loss provisioning, including provisioning for the impact of the deteriorating macro - economic environment. This, together with fair value movements reflecting market volatility, resulted in a lower net result for the quarter. "Given the uncertainty in the current environment we will need to look closely at our cost base to ensure that our expenses optimally support our strategic priorities and other areas of high importance, such as our ongoing know your customer (KYC) efforts. At the same time, ING is well capitalised and has a very stable funding base. This gives us the flexibility to support our customers and society during this crisis and work together with governments and regulators towards a recovery. Following the recommendation of the ECB, we have suspended dividend payments until at least 1 October. "While we now find ourselves in a period of great uncertainty, I remain confident about ING’s future. Since launching our Think Forward strategy in 2014, we’ve been among the leaders in digital banking and we offer a differentiating customer experience, as shown by our growing number of customers and the increasing amount of business they do with us. Our ability to grow and diversify income, our large and stable deposit base and our well - diversified loan book are a strong combination supporting our balance sheet and future profitability. This provides a solid and sustainable foundation on which to continue to support our customers and play our role in society, now and in the future."

3 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Business Highlights The first quarter was marked by the spread of the Covid - 19 pandemic. In response, ING took numerous actions to help customers, employees and the communities where we operate to deal with the impact of the crisis. Covid - 19 pandemic The spread of Covid - 19 in the first quarter and its development into a global pandemic affected ING in a number of ways, impacting our customers, operations and employees and the communities where we operate. Our purpose to empower customers guided us as we put in place measures to help them deal with the impact of the pandemic on their finances. This included extensions of loan repayments for SME and retail customers in various countries. We also work with larger corporate clients to deliver solutions tailored to their specific needs. It’s also about the basics, such as ensuring the continuity of mobile and digital banking services, making it easier for customers to access services and providing flexibility. Examples include proactively providing information on how to bank through mobile and digital channels in these new circumstances, increasing limits for contactless payments and waiving certain fees. The health and safety of our employees is a top priority. We were able to smoothly transition to a situation where around 80 percent of staff are now working from home. We support them with tools to enable working from home and with guidance to help them deal effectively with the challenges that home working can bring. To protect customer - facing staff in our branches we strictly enforce social distancing guidelines, limit the number of open branches and restrict their opening hours. These measures allow us to maintain access to this channel. Our efforts to help in the communities where we operate, driven by our local ING units, include donations to support healthcare professionals and facilities, assistance to charities that support critical social services and initiatives to help children impacted by the crisis. Know your customer Countering financial and economic crime remains a priority. In the first quarter of 2020, we enhanced the structure of our global KYC organisation with three pillars focused on overseeing customer due diligence, transaction monitoring and screening. Each pillar comprises a dedicated team with expert leads. This brings greater focus, strengthens steering and ensures end - to - end responsibility. We further implemented continuous name screening in a number of countries and all of our structural solutions are live and being rolled out. This enables us to continue building sustainable KYC operations in the fight against financial economic crime. We continue to have around 4,000 FTEs working in KYC - related activities. To further enhance their KYC knowledge and expertise, we partnered with the Association of Certified Anti - Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS) to roll out their internationally recognised and certified KYC training. Finally, we also launched the ING Global Code of Conduct, which outlines 10 core principles of conduct expected from everyone at ING. These principles build on the ING Orange Code values and behaviours and are based on our existing policies, minimum standards and guidelines. Having a global code of conduct that all of our employees adhere to ensures consistency in the way we do things and enables our employees to be more risk - aware. This helps to keep ING safe, secure and compliant, ultimately safeguarding our customers, society and the entire financial system. Progress on strategic priorities We also saw growth in several key areas of strategic importance. Customer numbers increased, especially in the area of primary customers - those customers who have current accounts with recurrent income. Primary customers increased by more than 700,000 compared to the year - earlier period, moving us closer to our goal of 16.5 million primary relationships by 2022. And following the introduction of Apple Pay and Google Pay in Germany in 3 Q 2019 and Google Pay in Spain in 4 Q 2019 (after earlier introduction in Australia, the Netherlands, Poland and Romania) we saw a continued rapid increase in the first quarter in the use of mobile payments. Against a backdrop of lockdowns and other governmental measures in response to Covid - 19, mobile card payments continued to grow as a share of both total card payments and total contactless payments. Sustainability As a bank our biggest impact on the climate is through our financing, but our commitment and leadership around climate action start with our own operations. ING's Environmental Programme aims to limit the impact our operations have on the environment. Having already exceeded the 50% CO 2 e reduction target for year - end 2020 compared to 2014, we have set two new targets. We will reduce CO 2 e emissions from our buildings and data centres by 80 percent in 2022 compared to 2014 and aim for a 90 percent reduction by year - end 2030. And we aim to reduce CO 2 e emissions from business travel by airplane and car by 25% by year end - 2022 compared to 2014. Other targets relate to energy consumption, renewable electricity, global residual waste and water. They are outlined on our Environmental Performance page on ING.com.

5 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Consolidated Results ING’s first - quarter 2020 net result was €670 million, down from €1,119 million in the first quarter of 2019 and €880 million in the previous quarter. The decline in net result was primarily due to higher risk costs and negative valuation adjustments caused by the market volatility and expected future economic impact of the Covid - 19 pandemic, partly offset by higher fee income. The number of primary customer relationships increased by 56,000 in the first quarter of 2020 to 13.4 million. Net core lending grew by €12.3 billion and net customer deposits by €9.2 billion. ING Group’s CET1 ratio declined to 14.0% at the end of March 2020 from 14.6% at year - end 2019. This was due to an increase in risk - weighted assets (reflecting factors such as the implementation of the new Definition of Default) combined with a decline in CET1 capital reflecting a decrease of revaluation reserves and FX impacts, while the full net profit was added. ING’s return on IFRS - EU equity was 5.1% in the first quarter of 2020. On a four - quarter rolling average basis, which reduces the seasonality in results, the return on ING’s IFRS - EU equity was 8.4%. Total income declined slightly year - on - year, but increased from the previous quarter, supported by higher fee income and higher results in Group Treasury. Expenses excluding regulatory costs remained under control and declined from the elevated expense level in the fourth quarter of 2019. Risk costs rose to €661 million, or an annualised 42 basis points of average customer lending, and included collective Stage 2 provisions to reflect the worsened macro - economic indicators. Total results The first - quarter 2020 result before tax fell 35.7% compared with a year ago to €1,017 million, mainly due to a strong increase in risk costs. The gross result (before risk costs) declined 6.2% as income was 1.4% lower, while operating expenses increased 1.7%. The gross result of Retail Banking increased year - on - year, but Wholesale Banking and Corporate Line recorded declines, mainly due to the negative valuation adjustments and a one - off gain in the first quarter of 2019. Sequentially, the result before tax declined 23.9% due to the seasonally higher regulatory costs in the first quarter of the year and the increase in risk costs. This was partly compensated by 1.6% higher income and a 2.7% decline in expenses, excluding regulatory costs. Total income Total income decreased by €65 million, or 1.4%, to €4,511 million compared with the first quarter of 2019. The decline primarily reflects lower income in the Corporate Line, which included a €119 million one - off gain from the release of a currency translation reserve in the first quarter of 2019. Furthermore, income declined due to negative fair value adjustments triggered by the volatility and marked - to - market adjustments. These impacts were largely offset by higher fee income, and higher income realised by Group Treasury as a result of increased market volatility. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, income rose by €72 million, or 1.6%, driven by Retail Banking. Total customer lending increased by €15.2 billion in the first quarter of 2020 to €631.6 billion. Adjusted for negative currency impacts and excluding Treasury lending and the run - off portfolios of WUB and Lease, ING’s net core lending increased by €12.3 billion. Residential mortgages increased by €0.7 billion due to continued growth in the Challengers & Growth Markets, partly offset by small declines in the Netherlands and Belgium. Other net core lending grew by €11.6 billion. Retail Banking recorded €2.2 billion of growth, whereas other net core lending in Wholesale Banking rose by €9.4 billion. The increase in Wholesale Banking was mainly in Lending due to clients’ increased utilisation of revolving credit facilities driven by protective drawings associated with the Covid - 19 pandemic to ensure liquidity, partly offset by a decline in Trade & Commodity Finance, that was mostly related to the drop in oil prices. Customer deposits rose by €11.8 billion to €586.2 billion in the first quarter of 2020. Excluding a €8.9 billion increase in Treasury and adjusted for €6.3 billion of negative currency impacts, net customer deposits grew by €9.2 billion. Retail Banking generated a net inflow of €3.2 billion, with growth in most countries. Net customer deposits in Wholesale Banking increased by €6.0 billion, mainly in Payments & Cash Management and in Financial Markets. Net interest income rose to €3,501 million from €3,483 million in the year - ago quarter, despite continued pressure from the low interest environment. The increase was mainly due to higher Treasury - related interest results (supported by the introduction of the ECB’s two - tiering system at the end of October 2019) and higher interest results on customer lending. This was largely offset by lower interest results on customer deposits compared with the first quarter of 2019; this was caused by lower interest margins on both savings and current accounts due to lower reinvestment yields, while average current account volumes continued to increase. The overall lending margin increased slightly compared with a year ago, as improved interest margins on mortgages outpaced the impact of lower margins on other customer lending. The interest result in Financial Markets, which can be volatile, rose slightly.

 
 

6 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Consolidated Results Compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, total net interest income fell by €96 million, or 2.7%. This was primarily caused by lower interest results on customer deposits due to continued margin pressure on both savings and current accounts. Interest results on customer lending also declined due to lower margins on other (non - mortgage) customer lending, which had been supported by some one - offs in the previous quarter, while the interest result on mortgages increased slightly. Lower net interest income in Financial Markets and in the Corporate Line was largely offset by higher Treasury - related interest results. 3,750 3,500 3,250 3,000 2,750 Net interest income (in € million) and net interest margin (in %) 1.54% 3,597 1Q2019 2Q2019 3Q2019 4Q2019 Net interest income Net interest margin Net interest margin 4 - quarter rolling average 3,470 1. 54 % 1. 52 % 1.57% 3,529 1. 54 % 1. 54 % 3,483 1. 55 % 1. 54 % 3,501 1.54% 1.51% 1Q2020 ING’s first - quarter 2020 net interest margin decreased to 1.51% from 1.57% in the fourth quarter of 2019, of which almost two basis points were caused by the increase of the average balance sheet and one basis point to lower interest results in Financial Markets. The remaining decline in the net interest margin was due to lower product margins on both other (non - mortgage) customer lending and customer deposits. During the first quarter of 2020, ING saw strong demand from corporate clients which resulted at the end of March in a €9.4 billon increase in Wholesale Banking’s net core lending. In addition, a number of institutional clients have trusted ING with considerable increases in deposits which we have in turn placed to the market in collateralised structures. On a four - quarter rolling average, the net interest margin remained stable at 1.54%. Net fee and commission income rose 16.0% to €783 million from €675 million in the first quarter of 2019. In Retail Banking, net fee and commission income increased by €72 million, driven by higher fee income on investment products and daily banking products. Total fee income in Wholesale Banking rose by €35 million, and was primarily recorded in Lending and Financial Markets. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, net fee and commission income increased by €48 million. Retail Banking fee income rose by €55 million, due to higher fees on investment and daily banking products, predomi - nantly in Germany and Belgium. Fee income in Wholesale Banking fell by €6 million due to lower fee income in Trade & Commodity Finance, mainly due to lower average oil prices, and lower deal activity in Corporate Finance. This was largely compensated by higher fee income in Financial Markets, reflecting increased deal activity in Global Capital Markets. Investment income fell to €21 million from €150 million in the first quarter of 2019, which had included a €119 million one - off gain from the release of a currency translation reserve related to sale of ING’s stake in Kotak Mahindra Bank. When adjusted for this one - time impact, investment income declined by €10 million compared with the year - ago quarter, and was €5 million lower than in the fourth quarter of 2019. First - quarter 2020 investment income consisted primarily of realised gains on the disposal of debt securities. Other income fell to €205 million from €268 million in the first quarter of 2019. The decline was mainly caused by negative marked - to - market fair value adjustments (among others related to syndicated loans and loans at fair value through profit or loss) and negative model valuation adjustments triggered by the Covid - 19 pandemic, which especially affected 1.65 Wholesale Banking. Retail Belgium was negatively affected by marked - to - market movements of derivatives, which are not in 1.60 hedge accounting. These impacts were largely offset by 1.55 improved hedge results and the market volatility in March 1.50 enabled Global Treasury to realise net gains of €118 million. 1.45 This is reflected in the Treasury - related income of the segments. Compared with a very low fourth quarter of 2019, which had included significant negative valuation adjustments in Wholesale Banking and in the Corporate Line, other income rose by €124 million. Operating expenses Total operating expenses increased by €46 million, or 1.7%, compared with the year - ago quarter and were €158 million, or 5.9%, higher than in the fourth quarter of 2019. Total regulatory costs were €526 million in the first quarter of 2020 versus a comparable €515 million in the year - ago quarter. On a sequential basis, regulatory costs were up significantly from €303 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. This strong increase was attributable to seasonality, as ING is required to recognise certain annual charges in full in the first quarter of the year (such as the contributions to the European single resolution fund and to the Belgian deposit guarantee scheme, and the Belgian bank tax), while the previous quarter included the annual Dutch bank tax. 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 Operating expenses (in € million) and cost/income ratio (in %) 2, 334 56.6% 303 57.0% 2 ,307 526 2, 272 51 5 106 59 .0 % 59 .0% 2, 354 97 55 .7 % 62.5 60.0 57.5 55.0 52.5 Regulatory costs Expenses excluding regulatory costs C/I ratio (4 - quarter rolling average) 2,372 1Q2019 2Q2019 3Q2019 4Q2019 1Q2020 Expenses excluding regulatory costs rose by €35 million, or 1.5%, to €2,307 million compared with the first quarter of 2019. The increase was visible in all segments except Retail Netherlands, which recorded a decline of €6 million. The increase was mainly caused by collective - labour - agreement salary increases and around €60 million of higher KYC - related expenses, which were largely offset by cost savings and some one - offs, including a VAT refund in the Corporate Line.

 
 

7 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Consolidated Results Compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, expenses excluding regulatory costs declined by €65 million, or 2.7%, of which almost €15 million was caused by lower KYC - related expenses. The decline was visible in most segments; only Retail Germany and Retail Belgium recorded higher expenses. ING’s first - quarter 2020 cost/income ratio was 62.8% versus 60.9% in the year - ago quarter and 60.3% in the previous quarter. On a four - quarter rolling average basis, which reduces the seasonal impact of regulatory costs, the cost/income ratio decreased to 57.0% from 59.0% one year ago (which still included the €775 million settlement agreement with the Dutch authorities on regulatory issues) and was slightly higher than the 56.6% for the full - year 2019. Excluding regulatory costs, the four - quarter rolling average was 51.3%. The total number of internal staff rose by 938 FTEs in the first quarter of 2020 to 55,452 FTEs, primarily in Retail Banking, including an increase in ING’s shared service centers and the insourcing of externals. Higher internal staff numbers were recorded in most countries, but especially in the Netherlands, Germany (partly caused by the first - time consolidation of a subsidiary) and in the Philippines. This was partly offset by declines, particularly in Belgium and Turkey. Addition to loan loss provisions ING recorded €661 million of net additions to loan loss provisions in the first quarter of 2020 compared with €207 million in the year - ago quarter and €428 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. There were several larger additions for files in Wholesale Banking and Mid - corporates lending, on both existing and some new files. Wholesale Banking furthermore recorded a €41 million collective Stage 2 provision for increased risk that is observed in the US reserve - based lending book, triggered by the sharp decline in oil price. Additionally, a collective Stage 2 provision of € 206 million was recorded, reflecting the worsened macro - economic indicators due to the economic impact of lockdown measures related to the Covid - 19 pandemic .

First - quarter 2020 risk costs were impacted by various individual Stage 3 provisions, mainly attributable to some larger clients in the Americas and Asia, as well as the aforementioned collective Stage 2 provisions for the US reserve - based lending book . Additionally, € 114 million of the collective Stage 2 provision related to the worsening macro - economic indicators was allocated to Wholesale Banking . Retail Netherlands recorded €19 million of net additions to loan loss provisions in the first quarter of 2020 (including a €25 million Stage 2 provision related to the macro - economic indicators), up from €11 million in the year - ago quarter and €15 million in the previous quarter. Risk costs in Retail Belgium were €126 million versus €42 million one year ago and €84 million in the previous quarter. The first - quarter 2020 risk costs in Retail Belgium were primarily related to the mid - corporates segment and to a lesser extent consumer lending, and also included a €20 million Stage 2 provision related to the macro - economic indicators. Risk costs in the Retail Challengers & Growth Markets amounted to €140 million (including a €47 million Stage 2 provision related to the macro - economic indicators), up from €84 million in the first quarter of 2019 and €75 million in the previous quarter. First - quarter 2020 risk costs were recorded mainly in Poland, Romania, Italy and Australia, whereas Turkey recorded a small net release. Risk costs in Germany were limited to €6 million and mainly connected to the consumer lending portfolio. ING’s Stage 3 ratio, which represents Stage 3 credit - impaired outstandings as a percentage of total credit outstandings, increased to 1.6% in the first quarter of 2020 from 1.4% at year - end 2019. The majority of the increase is caused by the implemention of Definition of Default (DoD). The new DoD rules resulted in an increase of Stage 3 credit - impaired outstandings and impacted all the segments and products in Retail Banking. The Stage 3 ratio of Wholesale Banking remained flat. ING's Stage 2 ratio increased to 5.9% in the first quarter of 2020 from 5.3% at year - end 2019. Total first - quarter 2020 risk costs were 42 basis points of average customer lending . Excluding the € 247 million collective Stage 2 provisions, risk costs were 27 basis points of average customer lending . ING’s through - the - cycle average is approximately 25 basis points .

8 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Segment Reporting: Retail Banking Consolidated Results 0 5 10 fourth quarter of 2019, the result before tax declined 23.9%. In addition to higher risk costs, this was mainly due to the seasonally high regulatory costs in the first quarter of the year, partly offset by 1.6% higher income and a 2.7% decline in expenses excluding regulatory costs. Net result ING’s net result was €670 million, down 40.1% year - on - year and 23.9% lower as compared with the fourth quarter of 2019. The effective tax rate was 32.4% compared with 28.0% one year ago and 32.0% in the previous quarter. The relatively high effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2020 was mainly caused by the lower result before tax and a higher level of non - deductible charges (including the new thin capitalisation rule for financials in the Netherlands).

On a four - quarter rolling average basis, which reduces the seasonality in results, the return on ING Group’s average IFRS - EU equity declined to 8.4% from 9.4% in the previous four - quarter rolling period. This decline in ROE was caused by a 9.4% lower four - quarter rolling net result combined with a 1.3% increase in average equity. ING’s return on equity is calculated using IFRS - EU shareholders' equity after excluding 'interim profit not included in CET1 capital'. As at 31 March 2020, interim profit not included in CET1 capital amounted to €1,754 million. The full net profit over the first quarter of 2020 has been added to CET1 capital, in line with the recommendation by the ECB. ING’s net result per share was €0.17 in the first quarter of 2020, based on an average number of shares outstanding of 3,896.3 million during the quarter.

 
 

9 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Segment Reporting: Retail Banking Retail Benelux Retail Netherlands Retail Netherlands posted a result before tax of €554 million in the first quarter of 2020, up 3.9% compared with the year - ago quarter. The increase in pre - tax result was mainly attributable to higher income from Treasury - related activities, which more than offset the impact from lower margins on savings and current accounts. Sequentially, the result before tax was up by €17 million, or 3.2%. Income increased by €4 million, mainly attributable to higher Treasury - related revenues, and expenses were €17 million lower compared with the fourth quarter of 2019. The net addition to loan loss provisions increased by only €4 million in spite of a €25 million collective Stage 2 provision related to the worsened macro - economic indicators recorded in the first quarter of 2020.

The increase in income was partly offset by lower net interest income from savings and current accounts, reflecting the low interest rate environment. Sequentially, total income increased by €4 million, or 0.4%. This was mainly attributable to the aforementioned increase in Treasury - related revenues and a small increase in fee income. These factors were largely offset by lower net interest income on savings and current accounts as well as on mortgages; the latter was due to lower volumes reflecting high prepayments and a decrease in margins. Total customer lending increased by €0.9 billion in the first quarter of 2020 to €161.0 billion. Net core lending (excluding Treasury and the WUB run - off portfolio) decreased slightly by €0.1 billion, as a €0.3 billion increase in business lending was offset by a €0.2 billion decrease in mortgages and a €0.1 billion decrease in consumer lending. Net customer deposits (excluding Treasury) grew by €1.5 billion, entirely in current accounts. Operating expenses increased by €8 million from the year - ago quarter to €566 million, as lower staff expenses were more than offset by higher regulatory costs. Sequentially, expenses decreased by €17 million as lower staff, marketing and IT - related expenses were partly offset by higher regulatory costs.

10 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Segment Reporting: Retail Banking quarter of 2019, risk costs had been €11 million and fourth - quarter 2019 risk costs €15 million. Excluding the €25 million collective Stage 2 provision, there was a €6 million net release from the loan loss provisions in first quarter of 2020, due to releases in the mortgages and business lending portfolios. Risk - weighted assets decreased by €0.6 billion in the first quarter of 2020 to €50.4 billion due to lower operational risk - weighted assets, partly offset by model updates (including the new Definition of Default). Retail Belgium Retail Belgium, which includes Luxembourg, posted a first - quarter 2020 result before tax of € - 92 million, down from €33 million in the year - ago quarter. The €125 million decrease in pre - tax result was mainly attributable to higher risk costs and higher expenses. On a sequential basis, the result before tax fell by €203 million. The decline versus the previous quarter was caused by the annual Belgian regulatory costs, which are booked in full in the first quarter of each year. Excluding regulatory costs, the result before tax was €23 million lower than in the fourth quarter of 2019, as higher income was more than offset by higher risk costs. The return on equity, based on a 13.5% common equity Tier 1 ratio, was - 5.1% in the first quarter of 2020. On a four - quarter rolling average basis, which reduces the seasonality in results, the ROE was 6.4%. Result before tax - Retail Belgium (in ð million) - 92 207 111 295 1Q2019 2Q2019 3Q2019 4Q2019 1Q2020 - 200 33 0 200 400 Total income decreased by €8 million, or 1.3%, year - on - year, as higher fee income from investment products and higher net interest income from mortgages (due to higher volumes and improved margins) was more than offset by lower Treasury - related revenues and reduced net interest income from savings and current accounts, reflecting lower margins. The Treasury - related revenues were negatively affected by marked - to - market movements of derivatives which are not in hedge accounting, partly offset by some capital gains. Sequentially, total income increased by €30 million, or 5.3%. This was mainly attributable to the aforementioned higher fee income, reflecting the strong performance in investment products, as well as higher fees for daily banking packages, which came into effect in the first quarter of 2020. Customer lending increased by €0.8 billion in the first quarter of 2020 to €92.1 billion. Net core lending (excluding Treasury) increased by €1.1 billion, of which €1.1 billion was in business lending and €0.2 billion in consumer lending; residential mortgages declined by €0.2 billion. Total customer deposits rose by €1.3 billion in the first quarter to €90.9 billion. Excluding Treasury, net customer deposits increased by €0.5 billion, driven by higher current account balances. Operating expenses were €560 million, up by €32 million, or 6.1%, year - on - year, mainly attributable to higher KYC - related expenses. On a sequential basis, expenses increased by €190 million, reflecting the annual contributions for the European single resolution fund, the Belgian deposit guarantee scheme and the Belgian bank tax, all of which were recorded in the first quarter. First - quarter 2020 risk costs were €126 million, which translates into 55 basis points of average customer lending. Compared with the year - ago quarter, risk costs increased by €84 million; compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, they rose by €42 million. The sharp increase versus the year - ago quarter was driven by business lending, which mainly reflects additional risk costs for existing files, and by a €20 million collective Stage 2 provision related to the worsened macro - economic indicators. Risk - weighted assets increased by €4.4 billion in the first quarter of 2020 to €44.3 billion, mainly reflecting model updates (primarily the new Definition of Default) and a lending - volume increase, partly offset by lower operational risk - weighted assets.

Retail Challengers & Growth Markets Retail Germany Retail Germany, which includes Austria, recorded a first - quarter 2020 result before tax of €232 million, which is €31 million higher than in the first quarter of 2019. This increase was primarily due to higher net fee and commission income from investment products. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, the result before tax decreased by €9 million as the previous quarter had been supported by net releases in risk costs. The gross result (before risk costs) improved sequentially by €19 million on the back of higher income, which more than offset the seasonally higher regulatory costs in the first quarter.

The return on equity, based on a 13.5% common equity Tier 1 ratio, was 18.0% for the quarter. Total income was €533 million, up 7.0% from the first quarter of 2019. The increase was mainly driven by higher fee income on investment products thanks to a record number of brokerage trades on the back of market volatility as well as higher income from mortgages. This was partly offset by lower net interest income on savings due to margin pressure and lower Treasury - related revenues due to hedge - accounting volatility and lower capital gains. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, total income increased by €62 million, or 13.2%. This was mainly driven by higher fee income on investment products and higher income on lending products (predominantly mortgages), while income on savings and current accounts declined. Total customer lending grew by €0.5 billion in the first quarter of 2020 to €87.2 billion. Net core lending, which excludes Treasury, grew by €0.6 billion, with the growth almost equally spread over mortgages and consumer lending. Customer deposits decreased by €1.1 billion to €137.4 billion. Excluding Treasury, net customer deposits declined by €1.2 billion, reflecting lower savings volumes which clients partly shifted to investment products. Operating expenses were €1 million lower than in the year - ago quarter. Higher KYC - related costs and investments to support business growth were fully offset by €12 million of lower regulatory costs. Sequentially, operating expenses increased by €43 million, of which €23 million was for regulatory costs due to the annual recognition of part of the deposit guarantee scheme costs as well as the contribution

 
 

12 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Segment Reporting: Wholesale Banking Segment Reporting: Retail Banking to the European single resolution fund. Expenses excluding regulatory costs rose by €20 million. This was mainly due to higher costs for IT and regulatory change programmes after a low fourth quarter of 2019, the first - time consolidation of a subsidiary, higher staff - related expenses, and investments to support business growth, including higher acquisition costs resulting from the continued growth in primary customers. Risk costs were €6 million (including a €1 million collective Stage 2 provision related to the worsened macro - economic indicators) versus €2 million in the first quarter of 2019 and € - 23 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, which had included net releases related to model updates for mortgages and consumer lending. Risk - weighted assets increased by €2.3 billion in the first quarter of 2020 to €28.5 billion on the back of model updates (mainly the new Definition of Default). Retail Other Challengers & Growth Markets The first - quarter 2020 result before tax of Retail Other Challengers & Growth Markets was €189 million, down from €213 million in the first quarter of 2019. The decrease is explained by higher risk costs and expenses, partially offset by higher income. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, the result before tax decreased by €17 million. The decrease was mainly attributable to higher risk costs in the first quarter of 2020, which offset higher income and slightly lower expenses. The return on equity, based on a 13.5% common equity Tier 1 ratio, was 7.7% in the first quarter of 2020. Result before tax - Retail Other Challengers & Growth Markets (in ð million) 400 300 200 100 0 213 225 206 291 189 1Q2019 2Q2019 3Q2019 4Q2019 1Q2020 Total income grew 7.3% to €894 million compared with the first quarter of 2019. This was driven by continued resilient results in most of the countries (especially in the non - eurozone), reflecting higher volumes at stable margins and higher Treasury - related revenues. Net fee and commission income was stable. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, total income increased by €19 million, mainly due the aforementioned higher Treasury - related revenues. Customer lending decreased by €4.3 billion in the first quarter of 2020 to €94.6 billion, due entirely to currency impacts, particularly in Australia and Poland. Excluding currency impacts and Treasury, net core lending grew by €1.3 billion, of which €0.8 billion was in residential mortgages. Poland, Spain, Australia and Romania were the main contributors to the net core lending growth, while in Italy lending declined. Customer deposits decreased by €3.0 billion to €129.5 billion, and were also highly impacted by FX movements. Net customer deposits (excluding currency impacts and Treasury) grew by €2.3 billion, driven by net inflows, mainly in Poland and Spain. Operating expenses increased by €33 million from a year ago to €571 million, of which €11 million was due to higher regulatory costs. The remaining increase was mainly due to business growth and the implementation of bank - wide regulatory programs, including KYC. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, operating expenses decreased by €1 million, despite a €13 million increase in regulatory costs, mainly attributable to the annual contribution to the local single resolution fund in Poland. The decline in expenses excluding regulatory costs was mainly related to lower staff costs and lower marketing expenses. First - quarter 2020 risk costs were €134 million and included a €46 million collective Stage 2 provision related to the worsened macro - economic indicators. Total risk costs increased by €52 million compared with the first quarter of 2019, and were €37 million higher than in the previous quarter. The increase versus both prior periods was primarily visible in Poland, Romania, Italy and Australia, whereas in Turkey risk costs declined. Risk - weighted assets decreased by €0.6 billion in the first quarter of 2020 to €51.4 billion, primarily as a result of currency impacts, a lower value of our stake in Bank of Beijing, and lower operational risk - weighted assets. This was offset by model updates (mainly the new Definition of Default) and higher lending volumes.

 
 

13 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Segment Reporting: Wholesale Banking Net core lending (excluding currency impacts, Treasury and the lease run - off portfolio) increased by €9.4 billion in the first quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly visible in Lending due to clients’ increased utilisation of revolving credit facilities to ensure liquidity amid the economic uncertainty due to the Covid - 19 pandemic. This increase was partly offset by lower net core lending in Daily Banking & Trade Finance, predominantly in Trade & Commodity Finance, reflecting lower average oil prices. Net customer deposits increased by €6.0 billion, primarily in Payments & Cash Management. The return on equity, based on a 13.5% common equity Tier 1 ratio, was 1.2% in the first quarter of 2020. On a four - quarter rolling average basis, the ROE declined to 5.5% from 8.5% one year ago. Result before tax - Wholesale Banking (in ð million) Wholesale Banking In the first quarter of 2020, the result before tax of Wholesale Banking was €98 million, down from €465 million one year ago. The decrease predominantly reflects elevated risk costs, primarily caused by various individual Stage 3 provisions (mainly attributable to some larger clients in the Americas and Asia), as well as collective Stage 2 provisions taken in relation 800 to the Covid - 19 pandemic and the lower oil price . In addition, 600 in c ome sh o w ed a modest declin e , and expenses inc r eased 400 compared to the year - ago quarter .

Sequentially, the result before tax declined by € 138 million, mainly due to the aforementioned elevated risk costs, combined with lower income in Lending, and Daily Banking & Trade Finance. This was only partly offset by higher revenues in Treasury & Other and Financial Markets, as well as lower operating expenses. 465 576 236 98 553 1Q2019 2Q2019 3Q2019 4Q2019 1Q2020 Total income was €1,270 million, down 2.8% year - on - year. This was predominantly due to lower income in Lending and Financial Markets, while income rose in Treasury & Other. Sequentially, income decreased by €52 million, or 3.9%. This was due to declines in income in Lending and in Daily Banking & Trade Finance, partly offset by higher income in Treasury & Other and in Financial Markets. Net interest income increased by €7 million year - on - year, driven by Treasury & Other and Financial Markets, while interest results in Lending and Daily Banking & Trade Finance decreased. On a sequential basis, net interest income fell 8.6%, mainly attributable to Lending, as the previous quarter had included significant one - offs on some specific customers.

14 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Segment Reporting: Wholesale Banking Net fee and commission income increased 13.4% compared with the same quarter of last year. This increase was mainly driven by higher commission income related to syndicated deals in Lending and higher fees in Financial Markets. Sequentially, net fee and commission income decreased 2.0%. This decline was primarily caused by lower deal activity in Corporate Finance and lower fees in Trade & Commodity Finance (mainly due to lower average oil prices), largely compensated by higher commission income in Financial Markets due to higher deal activity in Global Capital Markets. Total other income was €33 million, down from €106 million in the first quarter of 2019. This decrease was primarily caused by Lending, which included significant negative marked - to - market adjustments related to syndicated loans and loans at fair value through profit or loss, as well as lower income in Financial Markets due to negative valuation adjustments and losses in Credit Trading. The decline in other income was partly offset by higher income in Treasury & Other, which was mainly caused by capital gains and higher hedge results. Sequentially, other income increased by €35 million, mainly driven by Treasury & Other income, while other income in Lending declined due to the aforementioned items. Operating expenses increased to €799 million from €771 million in the first quarter of 2019. Excluding regulatory cost and currency impacts, operating expenses rose by €26 million, or 4.0%. The increase was mostly attributable to higher staff - related costs, reflecting annual salary increases and an increase in KYC - related staff, as well as higher IT expenses. Regulatory costs in the first quarter of 2020 included the annual contribution to the European single resolution fund as well as the annual Belgian bank tax, while the fourth quarter of 2019 had included the annual Dutch bank tax. Sequentially, expenses excluding regulatory costs and FX impacts decreased by 2.6%, primarily due to continued cost - efficiency measures. Risk costs amounted to €373 million (or 80 basis points of average customer lending), up from a low €71 million in the year - ago quarter and €254 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. First - quarter 2020 risk costs were predominantly impacted by various individual Stage 3 provisions, mainly attributable to some larger clients in the Americas and Asia, as well as a €41 million collective Stage 2 provision for increased risk that is observed in the US reserve - based lending book, triggered by the sharp decline in the oil price. Additionally, €114 million of the collective Stage 2 provision related to the worsened macro - economic indicators driven by the economic impact of Covid - 19 was allocated to Wholesale Banking. Overall, the Stage 3 ratio in Wholesale Banking remained stable compared with the previous quarter. In the first quarter of 2020, risk - weighted assets increased by €3.1 billion to €158.2 billion, mainly due to higher market RWA related to increased volatility, and higher operational RWA. The impact from lending - volume growth and higher FM exposures due to market movements was offset by the release of part of the expected supervisory impact taken in the previous quarter, reflecting the announced postponement of some pending TRIM impacts.

Sequentially, the result before tax fell 75.1% as lower expenses were more than offset by lower income and the aforementioned elevated Stage 2 provisioning and Stage 3 additions. Net core lending (excluding currency effects) increased by €11.2 billion in the first quarter of 2020, mainly due to clients’ increased utilisation of revolving credit facilities in March to secure liquidity at the start of the Covid - 19 pandemic. Total income was €665 million, down 10.3% from a year ago. Fee income was strong and grew by 17.0%, supported by higher syndicated deal activity. The decline in total income was primarily due to €82 million of losses (recorded in other income) caused by negative marked - to - market adjustments related to syndicated loans and loans at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, net interest income fell 2.7% due to lower margins, while the positive impact of the significant volume growth on the result for this quarter was only limited. On a sequential basis, income fell 14.1% due to both lower interest and lower other income. Net interest income was down on the fourth quarter of 2019, as the previous quarter had included significant one - offs on some specific customers. The decline in other income is mainly explained by the aforementioned fair value adjustments. Expenses rose 2.2% compared to the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to higher KYC - related expenses, as well as increased staff expenses related to annual salary increases. Sequentially, expenses decreased by €31 million, predominantly explained by lower regulatory costs. Risk costs amounted to €306 million and were primarily affected by some sizeable individual new files and additions to existing files mainly in the Americas and Asia, as well as the collective Stage 2 provisions for the US reserve - based lending book and the worsened macro - economic indicators related to the Covid - 19 pandemic. This compares to risk costs of €57 million in the year - ago quarter and €131 million in the previous quarter.

Sequentially, the result before tax rose by €15 million. This increase was driven by lower risk costs, partly offset by lower income and higher expenses. The previous - quarter risk costs had included a sizeable provision for a suspected external fraud case. Total income decreased 3.7% year - on - year. This was primarily the result of lower margins in Payments & Cash Management (PCM), which were mainly caused by FED rate cuts, as well as lower oil prices, which affected interest and fee income in Trade & Commodity Finance (TCF). These factors were only partly offset by higher income in Bank Mendes Gans, driven by continued high net interest income stemming from higher balances and strong interest margins. Compared with the previous quarter, income fell 7.4%, mainly attributable to TCF and PCM owing to the aforementioned factors. Net core lending decreased by €2.0 billion, predominantly in TCF due to the drop in oil prices. Expenses increased 7 . 8 % year - on - year, mainly due to higher KYC - related costs and IT expenses . Sequentially, expenses increased by € 11 million due to € 6 million of higher regulatory costs, the increase in staff expenses related to the annual salary increases, as well as higher KYC - related costs . Risk costs were €62 million compared with €18 million in the first quarter of 2019 and €112 million in the previous quarter (as it had included some larger files in TCF and the aforementioned sizeable provision for a suspected external fraud case). The risk costs in the current quarter also mainly reflect additions for TCF files.

Revenues were up in the Forex, Non - Linear, Structured Products and Commodities businesses, which all benefited from the volatility on the financial markets. Furthermore, Global Securities Finance revenues rose due to interest rate cuts, and Global Capital Markets experienced strong deal flow in January and February 2020. Despite these increases, income fell by €42 million compared with the first quarter of 2019, mainly due to the Covid - 19 pandemic which resulted in Credit Trading losses and € - 92 million of negative valuation adjustments (versus € - 58 million in the first quarter of 2019 and € - 74 million in the fourth quarter of 2019). Compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, income increased by €7 million, as improved results in most of the businesses were largely offset by the aforementioned Credit Trading losses and increased negative valuation adjustments. Operating expenses increased 0.4% year - on - year due to higher regulatory costs. Sequentially, expenses excluding regulatory costs declined by €12 million, mainly due to lower staff costs and performance - related expenses, as well as lower IT expenses. 100 50 0 - 50 - 100 Treasury & Other Result before tax - Treasury & Other (in ð million) - 34 - 37 46 - 21 - 31 1Q2019 2Q2019 3Q2019 4Q2019 1Q2020 Treasury & Other recorded a result before tax of €46 million versus € - 34 million in the first quarter of 2019 and € - 31 million in the previous quarter. Income increased to €138 million from €44 million a year ago. First - quarter 2020 income included improved hedge results and higher Treasury income. Sequentially, total income increased by €77 million, driven by the aforementioned items. These factors were partly offset by lower Corporate Finance fees due to reduced deal activity and lower income in Corporate Investments, as the previous quarter had included the sale of an equity stake. Operating expenses rose by €7 million year - on - year and by €5 million compared with the previous quarter, primarily reflecting higher regulatory costs. Expenses excluding regulatory costs decreased by €6 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2019. Risk costs amounted to €6 million for the quarter compared with € - 2 million in the first quarter of 2019 and €11 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The year - on - year increase was mainly related to Corporate Investments and the General Lease portfolio. In the fourth quarter of 2019, risk costs had been largely related to the General Lease portfolio.

 
 

16 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Consolidated Balance Sheet Segment Reporting: Corporate Line Corporate Line posted a result before tax of €36 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared with €137 million in the first quarter of 2019. Total income decreased to €80 million from €233 million one year ago. This was primarily due to lower investment income, as the first quarter of 2019 had included a €119 million one - off gain from the release in the currency translation reserve related to the liquidation of a foreign - currency - denominated entity following the sale of ING’s stake in Kotak Mahindra Bank. Net interest income decreased primarily due to lower income from foreign currency exchange ratio hedging, partly offset by the run - off in the legacy funding portfolio. Other income declined mainly due to lower income on capital surplus as a result of negative revaluation results on financial instruments. Operating expenses decreased by €54 million, as the first quarter of 2020 included the recognition of a value - added tax (VAT) refund, partly offset by higher KYC - related expenses. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2019 , which had also been supported by a VAT refund, the result before tax increased by € 31 million . Income rose by € 9 million, whereas operating expenses decreased by € 24 million, mainly due to lower shareholder expenses and an IT - related impairment in the fourth quarter of 2019 . In the first quarter of 2020, the Group Treasury - related result before tax was €66 million compared with €86 million in the same quarter of the previous year. The income on capital surplus was € - 20 million in the first quarter of 2020 versus € - 9 million one year ago, mainly due to the negative revaluation results on financial instruments. The foreign currency exchange ratio hedging result was €120 million in the first quarter of 2020 versus €152 million in the first quarter of 2019. The €32 million decrease was mainly due to a lower capital charge received from ING’s non - eurozone entities. The pre - tax result of Other Group Treasury amounted to € - 35 million versus € - 57 million in the year - ago quarter, and includes the isolated legacy funding costs (mainly negative interest results) caused by the replacement of short - term funding with long - term funding during 2012 and 2013. The improvement in the pre - tax result of Other Group Treasury versus the first quarter of 2019 was mainly due to the run - off in the legacy funding portfolio, partly offset by negative additional value adjustments. The Other Corporate Line result before tax, which includes items such as shareholder expenses and unallocated income and other expenses, decreased to € - 30 million from €51 million one year ago. This mainly reflects the aforementioned €119 million release in the currency translation reserve in the first quarter of 2019 and higher shareholder expenses. These factors were partly offset by the recognition of a VAT refund in the first quarter of 2020.

17 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Consolidated Balance Sheet ING Group’s total balance sheet increased by €52.9 billion to €944.7 billion in the first quarter of 2020, including €5.6 billion of negative currency impacts. The increase was mainly due to higher financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, customer lending, and cash and balances with central banks. On the liability side of the balance sheet, the main increases were in financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, customer deposits, deposits from banks, and debt securities in issue. Net core customer lending increased by €12.3 billion in the first quarter of 2020, while the net growth in customer deposits was €9.2 billion. ING Group’s loan - to - deposit ratio was 1.07 at the end of March 2020. Cash and balances with central banks Cash and balances with central banks increased by €10.6 billion to €63.8 billion. The increase was mainly driven by higher short - term deposits placed with ING, partly related to uncertainties in the economy and in financial markets. Loans and advances to and deposits from banks Loans and advances to banks decreased by €2.1 billion to €33.0 billion. Deposits from banks increased by €11.1 billion to €45.9 billion. The increase mainly concerned higher short - term deposits. Financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss increased by €23.4 billion to €119.5 billion, after a relatively low year - end 2019 position. The quarterly increase was mainly due to €12.8 billion of higher trading assets (largely derivatives) and €10.7 billion of additional financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss (reverse repos) . Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss increased by € 19 . 8 billion, approximately mirroring the development on the asset side of the balance sheet, with €16.8 billion of higher trading liabilities (mostly trading derivatives and repos) and €2.1 billion of higher designated financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (repo activity). Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss consist predominantly of derivatives, securities and (reverse) repos, and are mainly used to facilitate client needs. Financial assets at fair value through OCI Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) increased by €3.1 billion to €37.6 billion, including €3.6 billion more debt securities, which mainly reflect investments in US Treasuries and in short - term paper. In addition, the value of the existing portfolio rose due to a drop in yields. Loans and advances to customers Loans and advances to customers increased by €14.8 billion to €626.6 billion. This was due to €15.2 billion of customer lending growth, which was only partly offset by €0.4 billion of higher provisions for loan losses.

18 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Risk Management Consolidated Balance Sheet increased by €20.0 billion. Furthermore, when also excluding €7.6 billion of short - term lending growth in Treasury, a €0.3 billion decline in the WUB and Lease run - off portfolios, and €0.3 billion of positive valuation adjustment in hedged mortgages, net core lending increased by €12.3 billion. Net core lending at Wholesale Banking grew by €9.4 billion, mainly driven by a €11.2 billion increase in the product group Lending, while Trade & Commodity Finance (within Daily Banking & Trade Finance) recorded a €2.1 billion decrease, mainly due to lower oil prices. Retail Banking increased net core lending by €2.9 billion, including €0.7 billion of growth in residential mortgages driven by Retail Challengers & Growth Markets. Other assets/liabilities Other assets increased by € 1 . 9 billion and other liabilities by € 3 . 4 billion . Both increases were mainly due to higher financial transactions pending settlement . Customer deposits Customer deposits increased by €11.8 billion to €586.2 billion. When adjusted for €6.3 billion of negative currency impacts and a €8.9 billion increase in clients’ short - term Treasury deposits, net customer deposits grew by €9.2 billion. Net customer deposits in Wholesale Banking rose by €6.0 billion, including €4.6 billion of higher balances in Payments & Cash Management and a €2.0 billion increase in Financial Markets, attributable to money markets activities. In Retail Banking, net customer deposits increased by €3.2 billion, driven by €5.5 billion of higher balances in current accounts, partly offset by €2.3 billion of lower savings and deposits. Debt securities in issue Debt securities in issue increased by €6.0 billion to €124.5 billion due to €6.7 billion of higher certificates of deposit/ commercial paper (CD/CPs), while other debt securities, mainly long - term debt, decreased by €0.8 billion. Subordinated loans Subordinated loans increased by €0.4 billion to €17.0 billion. The increase mainly relates to currency impacts and the issuance of a $750 million Additional Tier 1 instrument on 28 February 2020, partly offset by the $1.0 billion redemption of an ING Bank Tier 2 instrument in February 2020. Shareholders’ equity Shareholders’ equity increased by €0.6 billion to €54.3 billion. This mainly reflects the first - quarter 2020 net result of €670 million, and increases in the liability credit reserve (€464 million, which concerns the valuation adjustments of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss related to changes in own credit risk) and cashflow hedge reserve (€359 million), which were only partly offset by €322 million of negative unrealised revaluations of equity securities (mainly due to a decrease of the valuation of our stake in Bank of Beijing), as well as a €598 million decrease of the currency translation reserve.

ING Group’s Stage 2 ratio and Stage 3 ratio increased to 5 . 9 % and 1 . 6 % , respectively, in the first quarter of 2020 , reflecting the macro - economic conditions and implementation of the new Definition of Default . Covid - 19 ING is closely monitoring the development of the ongoing Covid - 19 pandemic and consequent lockdown measures to contain the pandemic. Based on the potential economic and social implications for the countries and sectors where ING is active, mitigating actions have been implemented and will be adapted as necessary as we support our customers during these challenging times. Our staff is largely working from home and supported with the appropriate tools. A specific working from home operational risk assessment has been performed and issues resolved or mitigated. Credit risk management Various measures have been taken by governments – such as tax payment deferrals, wage support or guarantees for business loans – to cushion the economic impact of various lockdown measures. As a result, ING has implemented payment holiday schemes and provided Covid - 19 credit facilities partially covered by government guarantees. In line with the guidance from European regulators and bank supervisors (EBA, ESMA and ECB), these payment holiday schemes are not automatically considered as forbearance and/or a Stage 2 trigger. ING carefully assesses the creditworthiness of the customer and, if deemed necessary, credit facilities are qualified as forborne and/or moved to Stage 2. The Stage 2 credit outstandings increased by €4.5 billion to €41.7 billion, mainly within Wholesale Banking Lending reflecting the potential economic implications related to the Covid - 19 pandemic and the drop in oil prices. Consequently, the Stage 2 ratio increased to 5.9% in the first quarter of 2020 from 5.3% in the previous quarter. ING Group’s Stage 3 ratio, which represents Stage 3 credit - impaired assets as a percentage of total credit outstandings, increased to 1.6% in the first quarter of 2020 from 1.4% in the previous quarter. The Stage 3 ratio for Wholesale Banking remained stable overall despite increases in sectors Commodities, Food & Agri (from 1.5% to 2.2%) and Transportation, Logistics & Automotive (from 0.7% to 0.9%). The Stage 3 ratio for both Retail Banking business lines increased, reflecting the implementation of the new Definition of Default (DoD) in February 2020.

20 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Capital, Liquidity and Funding Risk Management rules resulted in an increase of Stage 3 credit outstandings of €1.2 billion and impacted all the segments/products in Retail Banking (mortgages, business lending and consumer lending). In the first quarter, ING Group’s stock of provisions increased by €0.4 billion to €5.1 billion. The increase is mainly attributable to overlays for the more negative macro - economic forecast and our reserve - based lending portfolio in Stage 2 (collective provision). Furthermore, provisions in Stage 3 increased mainly due to some individual files in the Oil and Gas sector. The Stage 3 coverage ratio decreased to 30.2% from 32.2% in the previous quarter. ING Group’s loan portfolio consists predominantly of asset - based and secured loans, including residential mortgages, project and asset - based finance, and real estate finance. The macro - economic scenario used for the LLP Stage 2 provisioning was the end of March consensus scenario assuming a decline over 2020 and a recovery in 2021. The scenario is based on the consensus methodology that we use in our normal procedure. On top of that we use our own expert opinion on specific sectors for collective provisioning. In takes into account the lockdown regimes and social distancing restrictions. Since closing the books on the quarter we recognise a deterioration of the macro - economic indicators. Market risk In the first quarter of 2020, the average Value - at - Risk (VaR) for ING Group’s trading portfolio increased to €22 million from €11 million in the previous quarter, mainly due to CVA hedges and increased market volatility. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, the minimum of the total overnight VaR increased to €12 million from €8 million, and also the maximum rose to €52 million from €15 million. in € million Minimum Maximum A v e r age Qua r ter - end Foreign exchange 1 6 2 4 Equities 1 14 2 4 Interest rate 12 39 19 36 Credit spread 4 31 9 25 Diversification - 9 - 23 Total VaR (1) 12 52 22 47 ING Group: Consolidated VaR trading books 1) The total VaR for the columns Minimum and Maximum cannot be calculated by taking the sum of the individual components since the observations for both the individual markets as well as for total VaR may occur on different dates. Non - financial risk As previously disclosed, after our September 2018 settlement with Dutch authorities concerning Anti - Money Laundering (AML) matters, and in the context of significantly increased attention on the prevention of financial economic crime, ING has experienced heightened scrutiny by authorities in various countries. The interactions with such regulatory and judicial authorities have included, and can be expected to continue to include, onsite visits, information requests, investigations and other enquiries. Such interactions, as well as ING’s internal assessments in connection with its global enhancement programme, have in some cases resulted in satisfactory outcomes, and also have resulted in, and may continue to result in, findings, or other conclusions which may require appropriate remedial actions by ING, or may have other consequences. We intend to continue to work in close cooperation with authorities as we seek to improve our management of non - financial risks in terms of policies, tooling, monitoring, governance, knowledge and behaviour. ING is also aware, including as a result of media reports, that other parties, among other things, review the settlement process, may seek to commence legal proceedings against ING in connection with the subject matter of the settlement, have filed or may file requests to reconsider the Prosecutor’s decision to enter into the settlement agreement with ING and not to prosecute ING or (former) ING employees in court, or have filed or may file requests for disciplinary proceedings against ING employees based on the Dutch Bankers Oath. Also as previously disclosed in March 2019, ING was informed by the Banca d’Italia of their report containing their conclusions regarding shortcomings in AML processes at ING’s Italian branch, which was prepared based on an inspection conducted from October 2018 until January 2019. ING Italy has been engaged in discussions with Banca d’Italia and Italian judiciary authorities. In February 2020, the Italian court confirmed and approved a plea bargain agreement with the Italian judiciary authorities. As a consequence, ING Italy has paid an administrative fine and disgorgement of profit. In addition, in February 2020 , the Banca d’Italia imposed an administrative fine on ING Italy . Both amounts were already provisioned in previous quarters . In line with the enhancement programme announced in 2018, ING is taking steps intended to improve processes and management of compliance risks as required by the Banca d’Italia. In consultation and in agreement with the Banca d’Italia, ING Italy has agreed that it will refrain from taking on new customers during further discussions on the enhancement plans with the Banca d’Italia. ING will continue to fully serve existing clients in Italy and is working hard to address the shortcomings and resolve the issues identified. ING announced steps in September 2018 to enhance its management of compliance risks and embed stronger awareness across the whole organisation. With respect to this, a programme was already started in 2017, which includes enhancing KYC files and working on various structural improvements in compliance policies, tooling, monitoring, governance, and knowledge and behaviour.

ING Group remained strongly capitalised with a CET1 ratio of 14.0%, well ahead of the regulatory requirements. The ratio was impacted negatively by strong market fluctuations and an RWA increase. In response to Covid - 19, capital relief measures have been introduced. The liquidity position remained robust with a Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) of 127%, stable versus the previous quarter. Capital ratios ING Group’s CET1 ratio decreased to 14.0% in the first quarter of 2020. This was mainly due to a decrease in CET1 capital and higher risk - weighted assets (RWA) due to the implementation of the new Definition of Default as well as to volume growth. These factors were partially offset by a €6.6 billion release of the expected supervisory RWA increase taken in the fourth quarter. ING Group’s CET1 capital decreased by €0.7 billion to €46.8 billion. This was mainly due to a decrease of revaluation reserves (€0.5 billion) and a negative FX impact (€0.6 billion), which were not fully offset by the inclusion of €670 million of interim profits. The full amount of interim profits was added to the capital base in the first quarter. ING Group’s Tier 1 ratio (including grandfathered securities) decreased to 15.8% at the end of March 2020 as the successful issuance of a $750 million Additional Tier 1 instrument did not fully offset the removal of two Additional Tier 1 instruments after their redemptions were announced in March 2020 ($1.7 billion). The total capital ratio (including grandfathered securities) decreased to 18.1% due to the partial ($1.0 billion) redemption of an ING Bank Tier 2 instrument in February 2020. The leverage ratio of ING Group according to the Delegated Act (including grandfathered securities) takes into account the impact of grossing up the notional cash pool activities. The leverage ratio on 31 March 2020 was 4.3% versus 4.6% on 31 December 2019. The decrease was mainly attributable to an increase in the total balance sheet due to higher volumes in securities financing transactions, higher cash and balances with central banks, and higher loans and advances to customers. Risk - weighted assets At the end of March 2020, ING Group’s total RWA amounted to €335.4 billion, up €9.0 billion from year - end 2019. At comparable FX rates, total RWA increased by €10.3 billion. Excluding the effect of FX rate changes, Credit RWA increased by €5.9 billion when compared to the previous quarter. The increase was mainly due to a €9.9 billion regulatory impact on RWA resulting from the implementation of the new Definition of Default. This was partially offset by a release of €6.6 billion of the expected supervisory RWA increase taken in the fourth quarter of 2019, reflecting the announced postponement of some pending TRIM impacts. Volumes grew by €5.1 billion, partially through lending growth in Retail and Wholesale Banking, including the Bank Treasury book. Operational RWA decreased by €0.2 billion, remaining fairly stable. Market RWA increased by €4.5 billion due to significant market volatility, which resulted in higher (stressed) Value - at - Risk RWA. in € billion 31 Mar. 2020 31 Dec. 2019 Credit RWA 287.4 282.8 Operational RWA 37.8 38.1 Market RWA 10.1 5.6 Total RWA 335.4 326.4 ING Group: Composition of RWA

 
 

22 ING Press Release 1Q2020 Capital, Liquidity and Funding Policy changes due to the Covid - 19 pandemic As a reaction to the ongoing global pandemic, the following relevant regulators have introduced a number of changes to regulatory capital requirements applicable to ING : The DNB decreased ING Group’s Systemic Risk Buffer requirement from 3.00% to 2.50%. Moreover, various competent authorities changed or removed Countercyclical Buffer (CCyB) requirements, which reduced the fully loaded CCyB for ING from 24 basis points to 3 basis points. The ECB effectuated Art 104(a) CRDV as of this quarter, which essentially brings forward the possibility to cover Pillar 2 Requirements with a mix of own funds instead of CET1 only. Consequentially, ING Group’s fully loaded Total Capital MDA decreased from 15.49% to 14.78%. This also reduced the fully loaded CET1 requirement, which decreased from 11.99% to 10.51%, and the fully loaded Tier 1 requirement, which decreased from 13.49% to 12.34%. ING is committed to maintaining a CET1 ratio above the prevailing fully loaded requirement plus a comfortable management buffer. The ECB provided some relief on RWA increases by postponing pending TRIM impacts by at least six months. The DNB further announced it is delaying the introduction of a floor for mortgage loan risk weighting. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision announced the postponement of the implementation date of Basel IV standards by one year to the beginning of 2023. Dividend ING Group announced in a press release on 30 March 2020 that it will suspend any payment of dividends on its ordinary shares until at least 1 October 2020. ING will review any further dividend announcements after 1 October 2020. The amount of €1,754 million which represents the final dividend payment over the year 2019 has not been added to the regulatory capital base. The 2020 interim dividend, normally paid in August, will also be postponed. TLAC and MREL requirement Total Loss Absorption Capacity (TLAC) requirements apply to ING Group at the consolidated level of the resolution group and are currently set at 16% of RWA and 6% of TLAC Leverage (LR). The available TLAC capacity consists of own funds and senior debt instruments issued by ING Groep N.V.. The reported TLAC surplus shown here is based on the leverage exposure requirements as these are currently more restrictive than the requirements based on RWA. ING Group meets the TLAC requirements with a TLAC ratio as per 31 March 2020 of 25.1% of RWA and 6.9% of TLAC Leverage. The decrease in the TLAC surplus is mainly explained by a higher exposure measure. in € million 31 Mar. 2020 31 Dec. 2019 TLAC capacity 84,328 85,910 TLAC (as a percentage of RWA) 25.1% 26.3% TLAC (as a percentage of leverage exposure) 6.9% 7.2% TLAC surplus (shortage) based on LR 10,913 14,730 TLAC surplus (shortage) based on RWA 30,668 33,684 ING Group: TLAC requirement ING Groep N.V. has received in the first quarter of 2020 formal notification from the DNB of its updated MREL requirement as determined by the SRB. This requirement supersedes the previous one communicated in June 2018. ING Group shall comply with MREL on a consolidated basis at the level of 28.58% of RWA (based on 2017 RWA figures), which shall be reached by 31 December 2023. The requirement is in line with our expectations. ING Group aims to fully meet its MREL requirement at the end of the transition period. Liquidity and funding ING holds a buffer of High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) to ensure sufficient liquidity in times of stress. The adequacy of this buffer is measured by the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). ING’s 12 - month moving average LCR remained stable at 127% in the first quarter of 2020, mainly due to the fact that HQLA and net outflows increased at the same pace. in € billion 31 Mar. 2020 31 Dec. 2019 Level 1 125.6 124.9 Level 2A 5.4 4.8 Level 2B 4.6 4.3 Total HQLA 135.6 134.0 Stressed Outflow 200.5 198.5 Stressed Inflow 93.5 92.8 LCR 127% 127% LCR 12 - month moving average ING’s funding is well - diversified.
